Biggest Rush Mistakes at any institution

"Old"? 43? Jeez. Tough crowd. Let me grab my walker.

Here's the deal -you (or someone else) may mean it as a joke. Others may not receive it as such. It's not about being pc, it's about respect. It's also about context - while your fraternity brother might not take offense to being called a "frat", a Greek from another campus or org might. So the smart, dare I say it, MATURE, thing to do is to NOT use any terms which might be misconstrued in a group which you are not 100% sure shares your sense of "humor". The final analysis of whether a term is offensive or not rests with the "butt" of the joke. However hilarious you find it, if the person who is a member of the group doesn't laugh, too, you've missed the mark.

I'm actually much less offensive in real life. I think.

I doubt you're offensive at all in real life for what it's worth.

And I also doubt that those of us who rush in here to warn, snip, argue, or advise would be nearly as officious in real life either.

It's a message board, so it's what we do here.

I started an informal "poll" on Greek Life, as I know there are many fraternity men who wish to stay on topic here.
